Incredibly sad scene that we see on northbound 101. You can see the far right lanes are blocked because of this terrible crash that happened just before 12 30 am. We understand the taxi driver was driving on northbound 101 with an active fair carrying two passengers when they were hit by a driver coming the wrong way on northbound 101. There is a volkswagen that was driving the wrong way, unclear why that woman was driving the wrong way but she crashed into the taxi and this is the result of this terrible accident. Everyone involved in the taxi and the volkswagen has died. There were four people in total. One woman in the volkswagen passed away. The taxi driver and his two passengers passed away as well. In the last 30 minutes we spoke with chp who tells us they are barely starting to investigate this accident and are not sure why this woman was driving the wrong way. We do not know. We did get multiple calls with multiple locations. One location was northbound 101 abby 280 split, so, its possible they couldve been traveling for quite some time. Reporter at this point the identities of everyone involved are still unclear or it not at least not being released. The woman who was driving the wrong way in the volkswagen was in her 30s. The taxicab driver was a man in his 60s and its unclear the identities are ages of the two other victims. Here is another live look of this accident. It has closed down two lanes are i should say three lanes of northbound 101. The far left lanes have just reopen in the last five minutes. We have another shot, another camera standing by to give you a better look as that traffic is coming through so you can see traffic slowly starting to make its way down northbound 101. This will no doubt cause some delays for the morning commute and come again, all four people have died. Police will be looking into whether drugs or alcohol play a factor and is also unclear where the cab driver was coming from. We understand there was someat its possible those passengers had just been picked up from the airport. All of that is still under investigation. Cristina rendon, ktvu fox 2 news.

Northbound 101 is open, as you see. We do have a picture of traffic thats getting by on northbound 101 near paul avenue exit. The two left lanes are getting through but i will mention that it still slow. For a while the freeway was completely closed but now you can get through. Obviously you cant exit at paul but you can get through just enough. Northbound 101 traffic is a little better than it was. Its early. I would suggest to 80 as an alternate route. Go up the peninsula and used 280. 280 will then get you to the alameda maze where you can use 101. Goupget you to the alameda maze whuse 1014280 to continue into San Francisco.

Now they have a couple of lanes open on northbound 101. As you can see on the left. Theyre still doing investigation. Chps Major Accident Investigation Team is on the scene. Northbound 101 traffic is getting through. I would suggest if this is your route come give yourself an extra 10 or 15 minutes just because its going to be slow past the scene and it does look like they are still doing investigation and cant get those vehicles out until they do the measurements. Four people died in this collision. A very sad morning. This is now a look at the area, northbound 101 coming up from the brisbane area and south city. I would use 280 instead. 280 is open.

See how thats driving e reverse that it was going up we would be warmer. That is taking a dip in the upper air and that will allow cooler temperatures to come in. 60s and 70s. Should be 70s and 80s. 64 in San Francisco. The normal is 70. Below again. Be missed by one yesterday but another day of below. Its been that way for week.

They are washing out. A dry front for us. This will kick up the breeze once it goes through and thats in the next couple of hours. We will have more of a cooler breeze today and mostly sunny skies. Partly cloudy to the north. Cooler and breezy a time but warmer weather is on top for the weekend. Crazy heart but i think we get mid 80s. 60s and 70s.

Seven people were killed but emergency Officials Say quick thinking by bystanders cut the number of casualties from being higher. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Governis set to sign bill that will be the first Major Overhaul to the States Charter schools law. The Governors Office of the bill increases transparency, empowers communities to consider the fiscal impact of new Charter Schools on existing schools and protects high performing Charter Schools.

One of the laws allows an independent auditor to make sure utilities conduct needed tree trimming in hifi is danger areas. Another calls for Utility Companies to make sure people with Health Conditions have generators or a safe place to go in fire safety power blackouts.
